Erkki Forster reports:
CBS Evening News’ MAGA-coded freshman anchor Tony Dokoupil made a pointed appeal to viewers after his first week on the job ended in a ratings bloodbath.
Dokoupil, 45, saw his ratings plunge over his first four nights in the anchor seat following his disastrous debut on Jan. 5, with viewership declining 11.4 percent overall.
At the end of his Tuesday program, which featured a 13-minute interview with President Donald Trump at a Ford factory that was drowned out by machinery, the anchor made a forced appeal to viewers.
“You may not agree with everything you hear on this broadcast, but we trust you to listen, and we trust you to decide for yourself,” Dokoupil said.
He took a deep breath before signing off with his closing line, “And that’s another day in America.”
